pleia2lol01:16
pleia2mj would not approve :)01:16
* MarkDude will edit a few pictures to make it appear that way01:16
pleia2I did try to talk him into eloping though01:16
MarkDudeFair enough, don't want to upset the mammoth hunter ;D01:16
MarkDudeI think he would be ok with just pretending - and telling folks that is your plan01:17
MarkDudeTell folks that I am performing the ceremony- and you are deciding whether I am dressing like Obi Wan, or R2D201:17
pleia2lol01:18
MarkDudeWell you can elope- and just have a party after to invite friends01:18
MarkDudeNon- Star Wars , if you must01:19
pleia2we're probably getting married back east and then having a party out here01:19
MarkDudeGood deal01:19
MarkDudeBetter than trying to do it twice01:19
MarkDudeI have had friends do it that way- they got overwhelmed01:19
pleia2two weddings?01:19
pleia2crazy people01:19
MarkDudeI know01:26
* MarkDude is helping friends plan theirs - it takes all sorts of work01:27
* MarkDude is minister for it. It will be my 1st time doing so01:27
MarkDudeThey keep asking my opinion, most answers from me are -- idk01:27
* MarkDude just has to help with the vows, and smartly decided that Courtney makes the other decisions01:28
* MarkDude deciding bridesmaids dresses? That is not a good thing XD01:29
pleia2Courtney is also helping, or getting married?01:29
MarkDudeHow big will your ceremony be?01:29
MarkDudeShe is helping- It is my friend Sara getting married- her and Colin were at the geeknic01:29
pleia2aaahh ok01:30
MarkDudeCourtney wont get married for a while I am guessing01:30
pleia2I don't know how big, I think we were shooting for 100 or so (oh gods, scary, I can't think about this)01:30
MarkDudeBesides, she needs a bf 1st :)01:30
pleia2pfft, overrated01:30
MarkDudeYou will do fine01:30
MarkDudelol01:30
MarkDudeI mean you already got a cool dude, that is the most important part01:31
MarkDudeMJ is lucky it appears also ;)01:31
MarkDude100 is actually manageable - much bigger than that can be a real hassle01:31
pleia2yeah, we both done good01:31
MarkDude+101:31
grantbow+101:32
MarkDudeAll of it is important, dont get stressed01:32
MarkDudeIt does not have to be perfect, accept that from the start, and you both will be able to enjoy it a bit more01:32
MarkDudeThe seating thing is the biggest hassle- accept that, and the rest falls into place01:33
MarkDudePawn it off on someone else, and then you will be set01:33
* MarkDude suggests maybe playing the cantina song for one of the songs during01:33
MarkDudeDisco version if you dare01:34
philipballewthere are so many versions of that song.01:34
MarkDudeTrue.01:37
MarkDudeAll joking aside pleia2 , I have had folks suggest it is good to look at it like a dinner you must do, the work beforehand is important, its like setting the table01:38
MarkDudeDont go crazy with the details01:38
MarkDudeDont worry about it, it will work out fine01:39
MarkDude:)01:39

seidosthat's usually the problem isn't it?18:33
philipballewmost super hero costumes are to small. because there in kids sizes18:34
* seidos ponders how many push-ups robin can do18:34
seidosphilipballew: this one isn't http://media.80stees.com/images/products/Bat_Man_Robin_Woman-Costume.jpg18:35

MarkDudepleia2, bonus points for MJ. Much style on how he did things. Looks like it took some imagination and work on his part.19:29
MarkDude+119:29
pleia2yeah, he did an amazing job :)19:29
MarkDudeBetter than proposing using text on sign at baseball game :D19:30
pleia2lol19:31
MarkDudeYou would have to text back , nope- try harder next time19:31
pleia2yes :)19:31
philipballewpleia2, am I free to like the womens page or is that a gender only thing?22:12
pleia2philipballew: anyone can like it :)22:12
philipballewsweet!22:13
pleia2no gender restrictions anywhere in the project22:13
pleia2even our goal, while is women-focused, often drifts into generic diversity and accessibility things22:14
philipballewis there a ubuntu-mens group or is the thought that women and more a minority so they need a own group? just wanna know so i can join it to if there is one22:23
rwwin short, no22:23
philipballewi see rww22:24
philipballewoh well...22:24
pleia2someone could start a men's group if they felt that men were under-represented in the community and needed their own group22:25
pleia2but thus far everyone who has done such a thing is trolling us22:25
pleia2apparently picking on minorities is fun for them22:25
pleia2attacking women, woo22:25
philipballewseemes like an odd way to pick on someone22:25
* pleia2 does not understand trolls :(22:25
philipballewpleia2, I agree, whats the point22:26
rwwphilipballew: I wish everyone shared that mindset, then there wouldn't be >300 bans in #ubuntu ;(22:47
philipballewwhat do they do to get banned?22:48
rwwtrolling, cussing up a storm, spamming "where is channel for stock" repeatedly, letting their cat walk over the keyboard, asking for help with non-Ubuntu distros and not listening when we redirect them, bizzare stalkerish comments, notice flooding people with anti-semitic rants... and that's just stuff from the past week :|22:49
philipballewits easy for them to say that because they are not face to face with the people22:51
